We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Fiction. Physical Book.
I’m missing this beautiful book on my TBR shelf. Let me just tell you that my TBR shelf (holds about 50 books) is my happy place. I smile every time I walk by it. And I’m missing seeing this beautiful cover on there. But that’s neither here nor there; let’s talk about the book.
Chris Whitaker has a very different and interesting writing style. He presents situations and then goes back and explains them. Like me, just now, that’s hard to explain. But you’ll see what I mean when you read this book. This is a sad story of a 13-year-old girl, Duchess Day Radley, outlaw, who pretends to be tough and who suffers great loss. She is a fierce and loving protector of her little brother. She cares for him as a mother would. But to everyone else she puts on a tough face. She is a powerful and unforgettable character. The other characters in the book are also so real and so well-written. The gripping plot keeps you turning the pages. Language is an issue, bringing my rating down to 3 stars.
